The idea struck me one day to use broken chain stitch as filling. I tried and it came out well.
In the below picture you can see the leaf is filled with broken chain stitch.
Then I tried broken chain stitch on horizontal bars but without piercing the fabric and loved the outcome. I named it knotted broken chain stitch. Pictures of few trials are below. And of course later I did a project with this stitch.
Below the middle green part is knotted broken chain stitch done with cone thread. In the second picture red colour work is knotted broken chain stitch done with 4 strands of silk thread.

ReplyDeleteThank you Margaret..
DeleteNice filling st. Cone thread is more appealing than the silk thread.
ReplyDeleteTQ Shami..i completely agree with you..I did a project on kurthi using cone thead only..
DeleteI'm not familiar with the broken chain, so I have no idea how you made this new stitch. It looks very nice.
ReplyDeleteTQ Annet..broken chain stitch is almost like usual chain stitch where we insert the needle bit above the previous chains....
